Pop star Beyonce is in discussions to play Wonder Woman in a new film based on the iconic comic book heroine.
The If I Were A Boy singer says she wants to follow up her performances in Dreamgirls, Austin Powers and The Pink Panther with a super hero movie.
"I want to do a superhero movie and what would be better than Wonder Woman?" Beyonce told the Los Angeles Times.
"And it would be a very bold choice. A black Wonder Woman would be a powerful thing. It's time for that, right?"
Beyonce will soon be seen playing singer Etta James in the film Cadillac Records, and she is also starring in the thriller Obsessed.
"After doing these roles that were so emotional I was thinking to myself: 'Okay, I need to be a superhero'," Beyonce said.
"Although, when you think about the psychology of the heroes in the films these days, they are still a lot of work, of course, and emotional."
News that Beyonce wants to play a super hero comes after James Bond star Daniel Craig said the next person to play the secret agent could be black.
